Matt Henry Facts
- He started in 2015. I was not part of the New Zealand team ICC Cricket World Cup But he was included after fellow pacer Adam Milne was injured just before New Zealand’s semi-final match against South Africa. Matt played in both the semi-final and final matches of the tournament and was the best bowler for his team in the final against Australia. His figures of 2/46 in 9.1 overs, however, were not enough to prevent Australia from winning the title for a record fifth time.
- In the later edition of the tournament, in 2019, he was a vital contingent in New Zealand’s fast bowling battery leading them to their second consecutive appearance in the final of the tournament. He took 14 wickets in the tournament and was New Zealand’s best bowler in their group stage matches against Bangladesh (4/47 in 9.2 overs) and semi-final matches against India (3/37 in 10 overs). He was adjudged the ‘Player of the Match’ for his performance in the semi-finals.
- In October 2016, in a bilateral ODI against India, he was involved in an 84-run partnership for the 9th wicket with James Neesham. As of March 2022, it was still New Zealand’s highest partnership for the 9th wicket in ODI cricket.
